Hi,
I own a router, to configure it you need to connect to it through the serial port.
My laptop lacks a serial port and therefore i am forced to use a usb->serial adapter. The problem is that minicom hangs at 'Initilizing modem' and there is no getting out of it, a hard reset is the only way. Freebsd recognizes the serial adapter.

Can you give a hint what model/chipset your adapter is/uses? I also need to get one of these but I don't have a clue what is supported by freebsd, neither how to find out which adapter is using what kind of chipset.
